Coffin And Splutterin'

Going Out In Style (Literally)

An Italian firm of undertakers has unveiled its 2008 calendar - featuring glamour models draped over its range of coffins. The calendar shows women in sexy underwear posing with coffins which can be ordered from the Cofanifunebri undertakers in Rome. Owner Maurizio Matteucci said: "It is good marketing but it is also but also a way to play down such a serious subject and to smile. Coffins are consumer goods like any other things.’’

FOOTNOTE: Stiff competition.
